Q: The speed of an object falling freely is an example of :
  • A. rectangular motion
  • B. uneven accelerated motion
  • C. uniform acceleration motion
  • D. circular motion
Correct Answer: Option C - When a body falls freely towards the earth, the acceleration due to gravity acts in its direction of motion (downward). A body falling freely towards the earth has a uniform acceleration of 9.8 ms⁻ ².
C. When a body falls freely towards the earth, the acceleration due to gravity acts in its direction of motion (downward). A body falling freely towards the earth has a uniform acceleration of 9.8 ms⁻ ².
